🎃🦍 SILVERBACK RTC | GIVING BACK TO SANTA ANA! ❤️

Our Halloween community event was about more than just celebrating. It was about spreading love, bringing people together, and giving back to the amazing community of Santa Ana! ❤️

At Silverback International RTC, we believe our purpose goes far beyond wrestling. We’re not just building champions on the mat — we’re building better people off the mat.

Service, love, unity, and giving back are at the heart of everything we do. We want our athletes to understand that true greatness isn’t just measured by medals or championships, but by the impact we make in the lives of others.

This is what Silverback stands for. This is our mission. This is what we live for! 🦍💪

Thank you to the Santa Ana community for allowing us to spread love and make a difference. We’re just getting started! ❤️

🎂 HAPPY 37TH BIRTHDAY TO ME! 🎉🙏🏾❤️

37 years of life, and I can truly say I AM BEYOND BLESSED! 🙏🏾

Coming from nothing, growing up homeless, and being a kid from Ferguson, St. Louis, Missouri, where so many young people face struggles and challenges just trying to survive, I NEVER imagined my life would be what it is today.

But here I am, 37 years old, LIVING MY DREAMS! ❤️

I always had two major goals in life:

🥇 To become one of the best grapplers in the world.

🌎 To become one of the best coaches in the world.

And today, I’m blessed to say I’m chasing and accomplishing BOTH! From competing against the best grapplers in the world to becoming the High Performance Director and Olympic Coach for Team India Wrestling, helping lead an entire country toward the Asian Games and the 2028 Olympics! 🇮🇳🏅

Sometimes I sit back and think, WOW, LOOK HOW FAR GOD HAS BROUGHT ME! 🙏🏾

But none of this would be possible without my AMAZING FAMILY, especially my beautiful wife, who continues to support me, believe in me, and stand beside me through everything. ❤️ I couldn’t chase these dreams without you!

One of my biggest blessings is being able to give back. Watching Silverback International RTC continue to grow and expand across the country means more to me than any medal or championship.

Because I know what it feels like to have NOTHING.

I know what it feels like to be that kid who just wants someone to believe in him.

And that’s why I do what I do. To give kids a HOME, a FAMILY, an OPPORTUNITY, and a place where their voices can be HEARD. A place where they can SHINE and chase dreams bigger than their circumstances. 🦍❤️

More dreams to chase. More lives to change. More history to make. More doors to open for the next generation.

FROM HOMELESSNESS TO THE WORLD STAGE. FROM FERGUSON TO THE OLYMPICS. 🌎🏅

I’m living proof that your beginning does NOT have to determine your ending.

Thank you, God, for another year of life. Thank you to my family, my wife, my athletes, my coaches, and everyone who has supported me along this journey.

HAPPY 37TH BIRTHDAY TO ME! THE BEST IS STILL YET TO COME! 🎂🙏�

🥋 CLEARING COLLAR TIES | BJJ SUMMER WEEK 🇮🇹

Breaking down how I clear collar ties and create openings from the feet during my seminar at BJJ Summer Week.

The little details make the biggest difference—control the position, clear the tie, create your angle, and go to work. 🤼‍♂️🔥

Had an amazing time sharing some of my wrestling and grappling system with everyone at BJJ Summer Week.

📲 For more technique and training content, follow the page!

And don’t forget to check out and order my instructionals on BJJ Fanatics for more of my systems, setups, scrambles, and attacks.

SILVERBACK OREGON 🦍

SILVERBACK HAWAII VISITS OREGON

Silverback Hawaii made the trip to Silverback Oregon! Two locations coming together, training together, and continuing to build the Silverback family across the country.

Different states. One family. One standard. One mission.

It’s bigger than wrestling — we’re building relationships, opportunities, and a culture that connects our athletes wherever they go.
